Su Xiao chose the third option among the three oath costs without hesitation—the "Curse of Near-Death." In his view, this oath cost was not a debuff, but a rare buff.
To others, raising the health threshold for the near-death state from 10% to 20% was extremely dangerous. But Su Xiao had the Black King Armguard. Its core ability was to exempt him from the debuff caused by entering a near-death state, allowing him to fight at full strength until death, even after reaching that stage.

Equipment generally had two ways of
